“Daniela was wonderful with my dog Mickey and I am so appreciative that she was able to walk him for me due to a last minute travel delay. I look forward to having Daniela walking Mickey again!”
“Highly recommend Valery. She came through in a pinch when I was desperate for a dog walker, and had such a great energy. Pino was totally ZOINKED out for the rest of the day after a fun and energetic walk, which was awesome. He is looking forward to more walks with Valery, no doubt.”
“Alana is great. She came to get my key and meet Suki to see her routing with fairly short notice when a work trip came up. She’s so loving with my animals and took care to follow all my directions, including giving Suki some of her arthritis meds. So happy we met!”
“Valeriia is amazing. She was super flexible with our schedule and she is always on time. She takes care to make sure that our dog Emily had her jacket when it was cold and that her water bowl was always full and her needs were met. I feel Emily is in great hands whenever she is with Valeriia”
“Christopher is great! Another great walk for Scout and an amazing write up with lots of pictures for mom and dad. Christopher even brought in our mail. Thank you!”
About: I have a very energetic and social Cavapoo, Ollie, who keeps me on my toes. I had dogs around my whole life. From age 3 with Snowball (unknown), to Bebe (Pomeranian) & Princess (mixed), Diesel (English bulldog), and now, Ollie. I love playing with them, teaching them tricks, seeing them learn, and learning all their personalities! **Hypoallergenic dogs only for boarding.** I work from home full time and can cater to your dog’s schedule! I regularly take my dog out every few hours or so. My building also has a dog run, which makes potty breaks super quick and easy, plus a nearby park for longer walks & exercise, or a local dog park if your pup prefers to socialize! Depending on the weather, I try to take a 30 minute walk around the park in the afternoon and throw a ball around in the evenings at the dog run. We’re a very pet friendly building so oftentimes there are other dogs in the dog run and then I just let them play together and expend some of that energy. Please note that there will be occasions where I will need to step out to run errands, or for a meal, and will need to leave the dogs alone for a few hours. Please let me know if there are any specific needs for your dog when left alone! My building caters to pet parents and the proximity to Fort Greene Park means your dogs will likely enjoy a scenic walk with me and Ollie, who is 1000% thrilled to have your dog’s company.
About: I’m an animal lover who grew up around dogs within my family. As I grew older I was lucky enough to start my own dog family and have enjoyed taking care of the pets of my family and friends. I am an elementary school teacher in the area and am able to walk dogs in the early afternoon/at night. I am also available on weekends as well as school holidays. I’m a responsible dog walker who follows each dog’s routine, keeps walks safe and fun, and tailors the pace to their needs. I refresh water, give extra attention, and send updates so you know your pup is happy and cared for.
“Vicky is so amazing! She understands my dogs quirks and gives so much attention to her during her walks and visits. Her updates are so informative and sends the best pictures during the walk experience. No-one better to trust with my dog!”
“Our dog Euro is super lucky to have Nelson! He is responsive, on time, goes the extra mile, and a new best friend to Euro who got lots of extra steps in and time outside exploring the area and doing his business thanks to Nelson’s dedication. You’ve hit the jackpot if Nelson has some availability for your dog! Thank you Nelson!”

About: Recent college graduate located in Downtown Brooklyn but I am willing to travel throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan. I grew up with dogs and got my first puppy when I was 8 years old so I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all ages. During high school and college, I took care of friend's and family's dogs including some overnight stays. I absolutely love dogs and cats so I want to play, love, and care for your pets while you are away from home. I'm use to various climates because I lived in FL and the mountains of NC. Ready and willing during rain, snow, and sunshine! I'm available for drop-ins, dog walking, and overnight stays. I have some flex hours during the week days but only early morning and evening availability on Mondays and Thursdays. Wide open on weekends to fulfill all your pets needs. I work in office on Monday and Thursday so I am not available until 5-6pm on those days. The other 5 days in the week I am available at any time! I am available to house sit or drop by your house to walk dogs, give them food/water, play with them, keep them company, and love them!
“Jessie is extremely responsive and so easy to communicate with. I really appreciate the patience she has with me and Dale! It's very comforting to know Jessie is nearby and able to care for my Dale when I'm away.”

Jen L.
“Jen is one of the most caring and thoughtful people I know. She is responsible, selfless, and intelligent. When it comes to animals, she has nothing but respect and love for them. She understands the importance of keeping dogs on a schedule, not overindulging them, but still rewarding when the dog performs a good action. She has trained her own dog so well that he knows how to use bells to tell her he needs to go outside, along with a myriad of other tricks and commands. It's clear that her dog loves her unconditionally, and I am sure any other dog entering her space would do the same.”
Samantha G.
“Samantha is a true animal lover who cared for her golden retriever Theo for many years with unmatched love, patience, and attention. She is responsible, trustworthy, and attentive to every pet’s needs. I have no doubt she will treat your pets as if they were her own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved at all times.”
